Five Days in Arizona

March 8, 2013

I’ve been to 16 of the last 19 years of Spring Training, and this year is the longest trip of all – 10 days. I normally make the annual pilgrimage to the Cactus League with my Bay Area cousins (and fellow SF Giants fans) but they weren’t able to make it this year. So instead, [...]

2011 Was A Good Year

December 31, 2011

Earlier this month, when I first started thinking about 2011, all I could think about was the 2 DNF’s I had this year. And then I didn’t want to reflect upon the year anymore. But I’ve had a lot of downtime during this week’s staycation, looked beyond those 2 unfortunate incidents and found that there [...]

March 17, 2011

Hello from the desert! We arrived late last evening and picked up our powder blue Crown Victoria car rental which told us it was 91 degrees outside at 9 pm. :/ We headed straight to my aunt’s home in the West Valley where my folks are staying (they happen to be coincidentally visiting at the [...]

Wrapping Up The Week

March 15, 2011

Workouts: AM: Dailey Method PM: 5 rainy miles It’s been a really long day so this will be short. I ran a tough 5-miles tonight and learned that one shouldn’t eat a tub of salsa and blue corn tortilla chips before a run. I was pretty miserable the entire time. Oh and it rained. No, [...]

Spring Training 2011 – Trip 1

March 7, 2011

I’m back from my first of two Spring Training trips! While it was a lot warmer than I expected (I’m not a fan of hot weather), it was still a lot of fun! Here’s my top 10 favorite photos (in no particular order): {My first view of Scottsdale Stadium. These are the banners that were [...]
